1. A method of controlling an industrial process, comprising the steps of:
- monitoring, with one or more measuring devices, a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled;
determining, with a processing unit, whether the respective value of said at least one physical property deviates from a nominal value;
displaying on a display screen, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value;
providing on the display screen, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state; and
controlling, with the processing unit, the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information.

Abstract
A method and device of controlling an industrial process. The method includes the steps of monitoring a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled and determining whether the respective value of the at least one physical parameter deviates from a nominal value. Further, the method includes the step of displaying on a display screen, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value. Finally, the method includes the steps of providing on the display screen, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state and controlling the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information.

7. A device for controlling an industrial process, comprising:
-
a display; and a processing unit; said processing unit being arranged to monitor a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled, and to determine whether the respective value of said at least one physical property deviates from a nominal value; said display being arranged to display, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value, and to provide, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state; and said processing unit further being arranged to control the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A non-transitory computer program product comprising computer-executable components for causing a device to perform the steps, when the computer-executable components are run on a processing unit included in the device, of:
-
monitoring, with one or more measuring devices, a plurality of values of at least one physical property of the industrial process to be controlled; determining, with the processing unit, whether the respective value of said at least one physical property deviates from a nominal value; displaying on a display screen, in chronological order, current state of the at least one physical property over time, which current state reflects the deviation of the respective value from the nominal value; providing on the display screen, when a user selects one of the current states, detailed information pertaining to the selected state; and controlling, with the processing unit, the industrial process on the basis of the detailed information.
